Description
Growing up, my brother and I worked as roustabouts in the shearing sheds for local farmers in our community. My brother eventually went off to shearing school and learnt the trade, and I still remember how proud I was when he hit his first 100 sheep shorn in a day. Now, he's an experienced shearer, and as his sister and longtime roustabout, it's only fair that I keep him on his toes every now and then (just to keep him humble).
It was a scorcher in the sheds on this particular day, and by lunchtime, my brother and his shearer mate were completely wiped out, taking a well-earned nap in the heat.
